These are **preliminary** notes on support for Meshtastic in the Pinetab.
|
|
|
|
A RF95 is connected via a CH341 USB-SPI chip.
|
|
|
|
Pin assignments:
|
|
CS0 from RF95 goes to CS0 on CH341
|
|
DIO0 from RF95 goes to INT on CH341
|
|
RST from RF95 goes to RST on CH341
|
|
|
|
This Linux driver claims to provide USB-SPI support: https://github.com/gschorcht/spi-ch341-usb
|
|
Notes here on using that driver: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/ch341-usb-to-spi-adaptor-driver-doesn%27t-work-4175622736/

## Portduino tasks
|
|
|
|
- How to access SPI devices via ioctl (spidev): https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/spi/README.md#:~:text=Troubleshooting-,Overview,bus)%2C%20UARTs%2C%20etc.
|
|
- access GPIO via libgpiod?
|
|
- Use dkms to distribute driver?
|
|
- echo 100 > /sys/module/spi_ch341_usb/parameters/poll_period
|
|
|
|
## Task list
|
|
|
|
- Port meshtastic to build (under PlatformIO) for a POSIX target. spec: no screen, no GPIOs, SIM network interface, POSIX threads, POSIX semaphores & queues, IO to the console only
|
|
Use ARM Linux: https://platformio.org/platforms/linux_arm
|
|
And Linux native: https://platformio.org/platforms/native
|
|
|
|
- Test cs341 driver - just test reading/writing a register and detecting interrupts, confirm can see rf95
|
|
- Make a radiolib SPI module that targets the cs341 (and builds on Linux)
|
|
- use new radiolib module to hook pinebook LoRa to meshtastic, confirm mesh discovery works
|
|
- Make a subclass of StreamAPI that works as a POSIX TCP server
|
|
- Use new TCP endpoint from meshtastic-python
